Tom has been sitting on Doug Stanhope's city council appearance and finally plays it. The backstory is grim: Stanhope's estranged best friend of 35 years, the owner of Chuckleheads comedy club in Bisbee, murdered his ex-wife's father and then himself — closing the town's only comedy venue.

Bert then shares his favorite Stanhope story: a woman wrote a furious complaint letter after a show, and Stanhope replied in character as an actor reading lines written by the venue — and the woman believed him.
